Here’s the Scoop!

Apologies for being a tad M.I.A. from the blog, but it’s been a busy season of school visits, writing, and of course, revising. But being a busy author is good. Very good indeed, as Detective Wilcox would say.

For starters, I’m beyond thrilled to share that WHO’S WRITING THIS STORY?! received a lovely first review from Foreword Reviews.

And speaking of WHO’S WRITING THIS STORY?!, have you seen the adorable book trailer?

To celebrate the release of WHO’S WRITING THIS STORY?!, there will be a party.

Well Piggy, I’m so glad you asked. A HUGE party with story time, crafts, cupcakes (lots of cupcakes!!!), and super cool swag. It will be at Books of Wonder on May 11th at 11:30 am. For more information and to pre-order, please click here.

In addition to the book launch, I am so looking forward to the Poughkeepsie Book Festival on March 30th from 10 am to 3 pm and the Hudson Children’s Book Festival on May 4th from 10 am to 3 pm. Please stop by and say hello if you happen to be in the neighborhood.

For now, I think that’s all the news that’s fit to print! Have a wonderful weekend. Happy reading!
